World Missions Quotes

“We had the opportunity in the Middle East to witness how Christ is truly reaching the unreachable, transforming the hearts of displaced refugees, and conquering the darkness with His light. It was life-changing!”Sarah, Middle East Trip 2017

“We don't know how God will use our love for the children at the orphanage. We just choose to trust Him. Our family calling is not just to love those who love us, but to love the least and the lost. We are all God's adopted children. He provides when it seems like no one else will."Stephen, Mexico Trip 2017

“Within 5 mins of walking through the doors my heart was being transformed from seeing the miracles God is doing. Everyone is loving self-sacrificially and living out James 1:27 to the fullest. The connection with God and other brothers and sisters in Christ was incomparable to any other experience I have had. It was life changing.”Leah, China Trip 2017
